Reviews of Govberg Jewelers
Daniel S
Used their company through Watchbox previously but this was my first time coming in. I had no appointment but Natalie G was free and helped me out. She was very friendly and accommodating. Knowledgable on her watches and ultimately helped me pick out a BB58. Couldn't be happier with her and how Govberg carries themselves. Will be coming back to add onto my collection.
Frank Wang
Fantastic boutique! Highly recommend.
We are just getting into independents and Natalie was very professional and helpful with helping us pick out our first independent brand watch.
The boutique has a great selection of preowned watches! This boutique also has H Moser & Cie, which is absolutely phenomenal!
We enjoyed the watches we saw today and are looking forward to a long term relationship with this boutique!

Had a really great experience today at Govberg. Had an appointment with Greg to discuss a Tudor watch I'm looking for. Also brought a couple of watches along that I need the bracelets adjusted on. I'm visiting from out of town and did not buy those watches at their fine shop but they were happy to help me with attentive professional service. Their shop is one of the most beautiful watch shops I've ever been to. They are the friendliest Rolex AD's, I've had the pleasure of visiting oh, and they also carry several other high-end brands. It was a wonderful experience and I look forward to buying my next watch from them when they can get the exact model I am looking for. I would be happy to even make a trip from the west coast to visit the shop again.

As a first time Govberg customer, my entire experience was exceptional. Natalie was extremely professional and patient in setting up an appointment. In-store, she made me feel welcome and well supported in picking out a watch that fit my specs. I left with a perfect watch and feeling thankful for having worked with someone as knowledgeable and gracious as Natalie. I am looking forward to working with her and Govberg again in the future!
David Van Doren
I love the professionalism yet approachability and friendliness of the entire Govberg Jewelers team. Everyone is so nice and accommodating. I want to personally thank the best watch expert, Natalie G. Thank you so much for all of your help and providing me the best service anyone could ever hope for. We haven’t known each other long but I feel like I’ve known you for many years.
Brock Molinaro
I don’t write reviews often but it is so rare to find exemplary customer service as I have received here, I felt obligated to share my experience and give credit where credit was due. We just purchased a watch from Natalie G. at Govberg and have been blown away by Natalie’s attentiveness, consideration, and intelligence when it comes to fine watches. Natalie was responsive, organized, and made us feel like it was her personal goal to source and find the watch of our dreams. If you are in the Philadelphia area, looking for a watch, you will be doing yourself a disservice if you do not work with Natalie. Out of all the watch dealers l have been to over the years, across the states from NY, NJ, PA, and DE.. this one was a Diamond in the rough.
She makes you feel like family, we will be repeat customers for life!!
Kerrie Stokes
A friend had purchased a Baum & Mercier at Tiffany for her husband and it needed a new battery. Tiffany couldn’t service the watch and recommended Govberg who were so lovely! I had an appointment within minutes in their lovely showroom. The representative was so very nice and said they normally have to send watches out, but it was a common battery and they had them in stock. He popped it in and sent me on my way for no charge. Thinking about getting a watch for my husband foe the holidays and this is where i will be going! Thank you so much!
Duy Tran
I had an amazing experience with Govberg Jewelers. Monica was very professional and has been such a tremendous help in my purchases! Beautiful watches and I will surely be back in the near future. Monica is highly recommended!! Thank you.
Christopher S
I have bought watches from Govberg since 2018 both online and in store. Every experience has been a fantastic one! This company really values their customers. Most recently Monica helped me find a very special watch for an even more special occasion, and she was super friendly, knowledgable and professional. 10/10!
Tae Kim
Natalie is a true ambassador at Govberg Jewelers. I was visiting Philadelphia and stopped by Govberg Jewelers (which was appointment only) and I didn't know. Instead of being turned away, Natalie gave me a tour and explained what Govberg was about. This was my first time and I was really blown away from the service. We had a wonderful conversation and I can tell she was very knowledgeable. She helped me try on multiple pieces and also suggested other pieces that I might like. I appreciated her patience, honesty and effort to answer any questions that I had. The excellent professionalism and service makes a huge difference in luxury purchases. Although I didn't purchase anything that day, I truly hope to come back and one day purchase from her. Shoutout to Natalie
Benjamin Zingaro
Monica was fantastic and very knowledgeable of the watches I was interested in. She helped me make a great selection in my price range! The shop is super friendly, professional and provides a comfortable shopping environment. Would def recommend to anyone looking to buy a new watch!
Matthew Chin
I had the pleasure working with Monica Moc. She showed me multiple watches that fit my needs and communicated effectively throughout the entire process. She made my first experience buying a watch at Govberg a truly memorable experience. I would recommend reaching out to her if you ever need anything!
James Huang
I stopped by Govberg for a sales appointment with Greg. I’m hoping to buy a Rolex and Greg did an exceptional job of showing me the watches. I appreciated that he took his time to tell us about the history of the watches. Highly recommend Greg!
Jeff G
Phenomenal experience from the moment you walk in. I worked with Natalie Goldberg. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Natalie educated me on the pieces, the market, and was able to make my dream of Rolex ownership possible. Will be a client for life!

Purchased my New Rolex Submariner from Govberg Jewelers today. I was so pleased to receive the call from Gregory Durham. This was my third purchase from them and I could not be more pleased with the service and quality of the luxury watches they provide.
Tisorn Songsermsawas
I visited Govberg a few days ago to check out some watches. It was a very lovely visit during which Natalie was so patient and kind to show several beautiful watch models. I definitely recommend Govberg to anyone who is looking for beautiful watches in Philadelphia!
My Realty
I started collecting my first watch from Govberg since 2015. Today l bought my 5th watch for my watches collection and 10th total for my family members all from them. It's mine only go to rolex AD. For the past 6 years, I had been help by different salesperson, some had not work there anymore but all were very professional. I was been helped by Mrs. Natalie G. today. She was excellent salesperson. I like her a lot. I will always referred Govberg to my family members and friends. It was pleasure experience every single time. I always felt like I was VIP client to them. They treated me and everyone with respect and dignity. They once even offered our family to a dinner treat. I'm so grateful I found Govberg and thanks my friend who introduced me to Govberg in the first place.

A little while back I purchased a Breitling watch from these guys online and it was just a little too tight on my wrist. They immediately ordered additional links for me and shipped them with expedited delivery. I couldn't be more happy with their service and by beautiful watch.
pawan dodani
I recently setup an appointment at Govberg to remove a link from my watch as it was slightly loose. Daniel was very knowledgeable and not only spent the time to adjust the link but also showed me other fantastic pieces I was interested in. Daniel was very friendly and the service experience was next level! I look forward to coming back soon!
Kevin Shen
Had a pleasant experience at Govberg Jewelers, went to get two bracelets re-sized and Erik was kind enough to provide complimentary service. We will definitely visit again to explore timepieces in the future, great selection of Breitling and Grand Seikos
Napoleon Suarez
Such a great team here! I’ve worked with Erik and he has always treated me with respect and even allows me to nerd out over the watches and try on anything, even in not ready to buy yet. I’m proud to say I am a customer and I look forward to putting my friends and family on.
Robert Shaffer
Monica provided an outstanding customer experience from beginning to end. She was very good listener and very knowledgable. I would highly recommend Govberg Jewelers for those considering the purchase of a high end watch.
Ming Zhang
I received the Lunar Chinese New Year gift basket today from Govberg Jewelers. So sweet of you. Happy Chinese New Year to everyone!! GOOD LUCK IN THE YEAR OF RABIT! SHOUT-OUT to my beautiful sales rep Natalie!!
Simon Wong
It was such a pleasant experience buying at Govberg! Greg Durham welcomed us. He was very helpful and professional, which we appreciated so much—definitely hoping to purchase more from Govberg!
Shawn Kim
I highly recommend this place. They have a great collection, excellent customer service, and professionalism. Monica Moc helped me purchase the Rolex I wanted. She was able to get the watch much earlier that I expected. I would go to Monica again to purchase luxury watches.
Nikki Cerone
I had the please of working with Natalie G. at Govberg and had such an incredible, positive experience. Natalie took the time to sit with both me and my fiancé to get to know each of us on a personal level, removing the sometimes overly “salesy”/transactional feel of purchasing a watch. She made us feel comfortable, heard, and important (not just a number!).
Natalie was attentive, responsive to all of our questions, and has so much intelligence in the watch space. For a first-time watch buyer, it was so refreshing that she took the time to educate me on the watch, all of its intricacies, warranty, and so forth.
You can tell Natalie has been in the business 40+ years! She is an absolute rockstar, a class act, a wonderful human being & if you are looking for a watch in the PHL area, she is your person!
Mohsin Shah
I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Monica Moc for a Rolex DateJust (Azzurro Blue) that I was interested in acquiring. Although, I ended up acquiring the time piece at another regional AD, my experience at Govberg was extremely favorable. In particular, I was very pleased with the level of professionalism and attention to detail shown by the folks at Govberg.
Champion Electric
Greg at Govberg is amazing so helpful and informative. Govberg makes you feel comfortable and welcome. Truly an experience
Quenten Petit
Met with Daniel to discuss a watch I had purchased elsewhere. Daniel took time and care to speak with me and review the concerns I had and put my mind at ease. (even though it was purchased elswhere).
Needless to say, my next timepiece will be purchased at Govberg with Daniel.
Vanessa Joseph
Came in to get one of my watches sized. Customer service was stellar as usual. I was tended to by Greg Durham who coincidentally took tended to me all the other times I came in. Would definitely recommend Govberb .
June L.
Monica M. was an absolute pleasure to work with and helped make our day so special! We came here for an appointment with Monica in search of an engagement timepiece, knowing how difficult it was to obtain a Rolex in today's market. The 31mm model I had been eyeing up for months was not available - however, Monica encouraged me to consider another option: the 36mm. She brought out a model and informed us that it was available for purchase. Once I put it on, I knew it was the one. She even offered to take pictures to capture our joyous and unexpected engagement. Thank you again, Monica!
Adam Erace
I had a great experience at GJ today. Great-looking, luxurious shop (gallery is maybe a better word) with warm, speedy and courteous service from Daniel, who added a link to my watch.
Kristen Rose
Greg and the rest of the staff at Govberg’s were amazing! Purchased my first Breitling watch and Greg made the process smooth. I highly recommend Govberg’s for your next luxury watch purchase!
Miles Asher
I was trying to get my not so very fancy watch resized and I was helped immediately and i was treated so respectfully and offered beverages and all of my service was done for free. Eric was fantastic. I will always come back for that service!
Chris Qiao
Erik was a wonderful sales assistant when visiting Govberg Jewelers, he is very knowledgeable and welcoming person when looking to purchase a luxury timepiece not only in Rolex but many other brands and is truly passionate about the watches he sells which I can’t say for a lot of other places I’ve been to he makes the process looking for a watch much less intimidating and special as it is meant to be I’d recommend him to anyone in the area!
Ian Li
Have bought a watch here and also gotten three watches sized / serviced here. Theyve always been super knowledgeable and helpful - will definitely be returning as a customer here.
Thomas Jones
An amazing experience!
My fiancee and I have found a new home for watches in Philadelphia. We were looking to find some special gifts for our wedding party, as well as gifts for one another. Natalie, our Govberg representative, was kind enough to make all of that happen for us, all in one morning! She was welcoming, knowledgeable, and obviously very resourceful. She has been able to help make our wedding day even more special for the people we care about.
We were also lucky enough to meet the general manager, Tyler. He was very kind, and truly seemed interested in establishing a lifelong relationship with us. He was kind enough to personally suggest watches to help build a true collection, as opposed to simply selling us a watch or two. It didn't hurt that our new acquisitions came with a lovely afternoon of cocktails and making new friends.
Nikki and I cannot say enough about our experience with everyone at Govberg. We have referred our friends and family members to them for future watch purchases, especially for those truly seeking rare and unique pieces. We highly recommend dropping in the store if one is in Philadelphia and making an introduction. Totally worth it.
Cheers again to Natalie and Tyler and everyone else at Govberg. Looking forward to seeing y'all soon!
Dan Tran
I would highly recommend anyone in the market for a watch to visit Govberg. I could not have had a better experience buying a watch. The store is beautifully set up. Monica Moc was very patient, professional, and knowledgeable. She showed me some beautiful timepieces and helped with style and size recommendations. I love my watch and will always remember my experience with this purchase. Definitely going back to Monica for my next watch.
Anthony Prisk
I had a wonderful experience purchasing my new Rolex from Govberg Jewelers. Ryan found me the perfect watch to wear on my wedding day and Daniel was kind enough to complete the purchase with me, last minute. Govberg delivers a world class buying experience from the courteous sales staff to the bathroom towels! Highly recommended!
Johann Cabe
Monika is absolutely an amazing person! She made the experience of buying my first watch one that I will remember forever. The sales room is something to be awed at with amazing watches on display.
Customer service is what made this Govberg Jewelers stand out from other jewelers. I’m a new lifelong customer after this experience.
Thank you again for everything and for making this experience something to be remembered.
David HOWARD
Govberg has always been an oasis of gracious and informed service.
When it comes to purchasing an ‘heirloom’ piece for someone dear, this is where I come.
Marcelo Quijada
My wife I visited the beautiful Philadelphia store recently. We had the pleasure to have Monica as our sales person. Our visit was very very pleasant, Monica answered all of our questions, we felt super comfortable and most important she was honest. Im happy to say that 2 weeks later I have the privilege to be wearing a beautiful timepiece thanks to Monica's superb service. Since I don't reside in Philadelphia, I was able to make purchase with the online services, and watch was shipped to me overnight. Monica made these whole process very easy and convenient.
My wife and I are looking forward in working with Monica/Govberg jewelers again. There's no need for us to look anywhere else. Thank you again Monica !!!
Kevin Wang
I recently had an appointment at Govberg to adjust my watch band length to better fit my wrist. I was greeted at a beautiful store by kind staff members who checked in to make sure I was being assisted. Best yet, the adjustment was at no cost - thanks Daniel! The staff were knowledgeable professionals who's primary goal is to best serve your needs. Looking forward to coming back!
Alexander Childs
An amazing experience with Natalie G. for my first purchase! I booked an appointment in hopes of finding a celebratory gift for myself.
You think you know what you want until you actually see the pieces in person. Natalie was so knowledgeable and took the time to show me a range of options on my first visit. I was not quite impressed with any of the pieces I thought I would like prior to the visit, as this would be my first watch and I wanted to purchase without second guessing. The last piece Natalie showed me I loved it but was not available for purchase at the time. Natalie kept to her word and contacted me when the piece became available. Natalie made the experience of purchasing my first watch incredibly easy and memorable. I look forward to working with Natalie again!
Nader Sharif-Emami
Just brought my watch in for servicing in the Govberg Walnut Street location. Could not have been a more pleasant experience. I was helped by Gregory who was very knowledgeable not only about Rolex, but also took the time to show me some truly fantastic pieces after offering a drink. Unlike other watch stores people at Govberg, and particularly Gregory, really give the personalized service and attention to entry-level collectors that the industry has been lacking since demand has skyrocketed. If you want an all-in-one shop to build a relationship with, my advice would be start here!
Karanvir Singh
A very nice place with a very homely environment, I called in one day and the lady over the phone (Monica) was one of the nicest people to ever talk to me. She answered all my questions and invited me to the store, upon arrival the other associates were very respectful and welcoming. I felt like it meant a great deal to the staff, to develop a relationship with any potential client. This sort of respect goes a long way in my books, I've bought multiple pieces from this location and I hope to buy more.
Rory Brett
I had a great experience at Govberg Jewelers and Monica was very helpful and professional. She made it very easy to purchase a watch. Next time I’m in the market for a new watch I would travel the 3 hours to go there, even though there are AD’s closer. All in all a good experience..

I worked with Greg Durham from Govberg jewelry in Philadelphia for my requirement to buy a Rolex. Greg was very professional, straight forward and transparent. I would recommend Greg from Govberg and would visit them again for my future watch/jewelry needs.
Cheers!
Khurshid Mamurov
I had a great experience working with Monica. She helped me to purchase 2 watches so far and enjoyed each purchase. One of the best watch dealers in Pennsylvania.
Sue Tran
We visited this boutique a few weeks ago and was lucky enough to be assisted by Monica. The level of service she provided was AMAZING!! Her product knowledge and customer skills are impressive. Monica provided us with the best shopping experience and personalized treatment. We are looking for our next watch already and communications with Monica is always prompt. If you are looking for a watch, visit Govberg and ask for Monica.
Benjamin Gonzales
Such an amazing experience at the center city location today- intended to drop of my wife’s vintage bluesy for service since my past service experience with Govberg was phenomenal. Didn’t realize that it was by appointment only however the security officer was very accommodating and professional- we were met by Natalie Goldberg to help us coordinate the service request, immediately her hospitality warmed us up and we were welcomed to browse the showroom without any sales pressure. A few casual conversations later we were invited to try some pieces- to cut the story short we ended up with our his and her’s Grand Seiko’s !!! We had no intention to make any purchases but Natalie’s personality sold us- we’ve had previous AD experiences in the past but I can assure you there are no sales sharks here at Govberg! Glad to have one of if not the best experience we’ve ever had- see you on our next purchase Natalie!!!!!
Andre Rubin
Having any kind of work done on a luxury watch is perilous. Opening watch cases and sizing metal bracelets with screws can go very wrong without the perfect touch. Govberg is a rare oasis where one does not have to worry about these issues, because they do a perfect job, sometimes even free of charge. They are the best in the Philly area.
Douglas Reyes
It was just a regular Friday and finished having Starbucks and lo and behold there’s Govberg Jewelers and they’re open. I call to see if there’s any availability to look around for a watch and they were kind enough to make an appointment for me on the spot. I’ve been in the market for a pilot’s watch and today just felt like the right day. I was helped by Monica today. Right from the start she was very welcoming and knowledgeable about watches and shared the same enthusiasm as me, so we clicked very quickly. Tried on a couple Breitlings, but just wasn’t in love. Monica did mention IWC and of course it’s a brand I love and wanted, so she found a beautiful Le Petite Prince 43mm with a blue dial and leather strap. It is perfect. She hit it out of the ballpark with this recommendation. She took her time to find out what I wanted and truly valued me as a customer. I really enjoyed the entire experience and will recommend to come to Govberg and speak with her for your next timepiece. I look forward to many more watch purchases with Monica myself. Excellent customer service, friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you so much Monica.
stephenanddonna haber
Outstanding experience at Govberg Jewelers. Worth the trip from Northern NJ. From initial Phone conversation and throughout our visit our Sales Consultant Monica assisted my wife and myself and was extremely professional throughout. My wife is extremely pleased with her purchase and we will be back for additional purchases
Samuel Frank
I stopped into Govberg yesterday to order a link for one of my watches and possibly browse around. Gregory was the advisor who was helping me and I honestly wish I can give a review higher than 5 stars. I’ve been to plenty of luxury watch boutiques but this was the first time the advisor didn’t feel like a salesman. Gregory felt like a friend just talking and joking about watches. That means a ton because there has been dealers who usually age discriminate me but Gregory treated me as equal which I won’t forget. If you’re in the market for a watch and want to shop at Govberg ask for Gregory for a highly knowledgeable and friendly experience. Looking forward to my relationship with Gregory and Govberg for years to come!
Ted Tran
Never been happier with the customer service that Monica provided at Govberg. She was very patient, helpful, and knowledgeable. She always response to whatever questions I texted her. She made my first watch buying experience very enjoyable, and she will have all of my future business.
Steve Berman
I was recently in Philadelphia and had the pleasure of meeting Greg at Govberg Jewelers, an authorized Rolex dealer. Greg is the BEST, he spent time with me and my family and we had a GREAT experience. I remain hopeful that I will get a call in the future and get the opportunity to purchase a Rolex from Govberg Jewelers.
Rob H
Monica was extremely helpful. I went in originally to service one watch, but I was able to try and purchase difficult to find watches. I was unaware that Govberg was affiliated with Watchbox.
Monica mentioned that she could get pre-owned watches for me to try. I said I was interested in 2 on a Friday. Both arrived on a Monday.
I also asked for a watch that was not even available on Watchbox, and within 2 weeks I had it in my hands.
I look forward to making purchases from Monica and Goveberg again.
Mitchell Jasinski
Couple weeks ago, I decided to visit Govberg Jewelers. Keep in mind, I'm a young adult and based on previous experiences at watch retailers- it was generally tough to express my passion for watches. However, this was unlike any other experience I had. Walking into Govberg Jewelers- I noticed how welcoming the staff were.
Erik Widhson showed me around the store and to my surprise had several great watch conversations. While my last visit to Govberg Jewelers did not result in a purchase, Erik exposed me to several watches that I had been dreaming to try on. First off- I was surprised to see they carried Grand Seiko (while I've read amazing things about the brand- I never experienced their watches in person). Erik was more than happy to let me try on several Grand Seikos and thoroughly discussed their respective details. Additionally, Erik introduced me to a brand I had not yet seen- H Moser & Cie... to say the least these pieces were art to me (certainly check them out when you visit).
Ps. for those that have been looking around to try on any Rolex watches, it was nice to see Govberg Jewelers carry several Rolex watches on display to try on. So, for someone like me who has also dreamed of trying one on (despite the difficult nowadays to do so), Erik made that possible.
Highly recommend visiting Govberg Jewelers if you are looking for a vast selection of timepieces. As customers, I am sure we all hope to find an advisor that is not pushy into any purchases- I never felt pressured by Erik to purchase anything. Instead, he educated me in several timepieces and shared the excitement I had. If you are looking to discuss any watch, whether to purchase or to learn more about- ask for Erik Widhson, you will not regret the visit. Will certainly be going back to him for future purchases.
Kyle Reiff
I wanted to celebrate a recent promotion by getting my first Rolex. I struggled with some other ADs in the area just to get an appointment, but Govberg was fantastic. I got a call back within 1 day from Monica Moc. She invited me down to see their selection and figure out the best size for my wrist. I ended up deciding on a black dial Datejust in 36mm. They were able to source the watch within a couple days (no easy feat considering there are one year waitlists for certain models!). Monica was fantastic throughout the process - helped me get the watch sized and showed me how to use the easy link feature for a comfortable fit in the summer. Super happy with my experience - would definitely recommend if you're looking for a new Rolex (or other high-end watch).
Alexis Agelan
Had a great experience at my
most recent visit. Monica really took her time and provided outstanding service. Extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. I look forward to my next purchase.
Sam Alaimo
Monica is excellent. She is passionate about watches and passionate about people. It was a pleasure to work with her and I look forward to doing so again.
Joseph Cabe
With an appreciation for specialization, Govberg Jewelers is a watch lovers paradise. The finest watches in a luxurious and well decorated store complemented with the excellent customer service. Will be coming back to Monica for my next watch.
Jack Stephan
I had the pleasure of dealing with Greg regarding a IWC watch. Talk about personable and forthcoming! I ended up with the watch and a new friend at Govberg
Brian Kiefer
Really enjoyed my visit at Govberg trying on watches and talking about watches with Greg. It's always a pleasure to talk watches with Greg -- he knows so much, and he knows how to listen to what you're looking for in a watch and show you the right pieces. His knowledge of the market and watch history is great, and really makes a difference when choosing a watch as a collector.
Steve Lerner
Greg helped us with the purchase of a Patek Philippe watch for my wife. Watch is fantastic and she is excited and said she may not take it off her wrist. Greg is great, tremendous knowledge and extremely flexible to work with our timing. Looking forward to consummating another purchase with Greg when he gets more men’s watches to align with what we talked about. Thank you ever so much
Matt Lipson
I needed to get my new watch fitted so I called up Govberg and was instantly treated like a top customer. I worked with Daniel to find the perfect fit, and he couldn't have been more courteous and friendly throughout the whole experience. Couldn't recommend Govberg more.
Shirish C
Had a wonderful experience at Govberg. Booked an appointment with Erik W and he is very honest, knowledgeable explaining different types of luxury watches and gave a tour of their beautiful boutique. I expressed interest in one of the Rolex watches and he was able to get one for me very fast. I will be returning to Erik for my next watch and many more..
Elizabeth Le
Monica Mok was professional and knowledgeable of luxury watch brands. She took the time to explain the function, usage and maintenance of the various models.
Monica is a gem. I look forward to adding to my collection with her expertise and assistance.
I'm glad my first Rolex was purchased at Govberg; a distinctly reputable store with tenured business.
Cathy K
A year ago, my 93 year old father asked me to help him buy a Rolex for each of his six grandchildren. I called Govberg and spoke with Natalie and told her my story. She has been an amazing help throughout this entire process. Finding six Rolex watches during the pandemic has not been easy, but we are half way there. I am not sure we would be this far along with any other jeweler. I reached out to several and many weren't interested. Natalie was the salesperson that stood out among the rest in the beginning and has continued to be a pleasure to work with as we fulfill my dad's dream. I will always go to Govberg first for a purchase now.
Lilia Roche
My experience with Govberg Jewelers was fantastic! I worked with Monica Moc to purchase my first Rolex and she was extremely knowledgable and helpful. I love my watch and the service was impeccable. I will definitely be purchasing from Govberg in the future.
Kyle Marotta
Had a great experience visiting the store and talking watches with Tyler - he was very knowledgable and generous with his time. The space is beautiful and I had a chance to try on a variety of Rolex exhibition models. Definitely look forward to returning soon!
R D
Great buying experience with Mr. Greg Durham at Govberg in Philadelphia. He is very patient working with my daughter, answering all her questions and helping her in choosing the right watch. I bought twice at Govberg and great experience both times. Simple buying process with no unnecessary attention and pressure. Love doing business with Mr. Greg Durham and Govberg. Looking forward to do business with you again in future. Keep up the good work.

Noah Hyman
Maybe the best watch company in the USA. Thanks so much what a memorable experience.
You simply have to ask for Greg he is so knowledgeable and courteous. He will be honest and serious. What pro.
Cramer Qualls
Making the best out of a bad situation, Govberg pulled through. I had previously bought a lovely Grand Seiko from them, and had expressed interest in a Submariner. Walked in for some warranty work on the GS, and asked about the possibility of a Sub to celebrate a milestone, instead I was presented with a gorgeous pre-owned A Lange that I instantly fell in love with and bought.
Turned out that the watch had slipped through the cracks and ended up being stolen and I had to return it to Govberg so it could go back to its rightful owner! But to compensate me, they were able to source a Sub for me in near record time, and I could not be more pleased with how I've been treated.
Also, if you get a chance to go to any of the brand events they have in their store--I had the pleasure of going to the Tudor event last year--hop on. They're a blast.
Trevor Curtis
My search for a watch landed me at Govberg on a trip to Philadelphia. I was met with a high level of attention and support from Monica. She was extremely patient, helpful, and understanding of what I was looking for. Even though I don’t live in the area, I definitely will be returning for my next watch purchase.
Ganggas Harjianto
Had a very pleasant experience with Greg. Had my IWC that I purchased online from a different retailer fitted and adjusted. Greg was able to do this with great care and it was fun to pick his brain on the watch hobby.
Joel Walton
Monica was amazing in helping me pick up a beautiful timepiece to add to the collection. I couldn’t be happier with her and her outstanding service. Thank you Monica and the team at Govberg! Can’t wait to get a call on another piece!
Short Songs
I have bought several watches from Watchbox, and have had Govberg make several adjustments on various watches over the years. I have recently been working with Erik, his vast knowledge of watches and the industry impressive. He has been both curious and professional. I look forward to future purchases.
It's Me
Days like this where it is extremely hard to find establishments that you can trust when it comes down to purchasing an authentic item ''online'' Govberg watches leading the industry.
You can purchase from there with confidence. My experience with DAVID SALAMANCA was beyond phenomenal; he is so professional yet friendly. If you are looking for a place where you feel safe and trusted you are at the right place.
Eugene Vedensky
Monica Moc sourced my Black Bay GMT Root Beer within a day. I visited the store on Saturday, had a great conversation about previous generation submariners, and the watch was on my door step on Tuesday. In an atmosphere of crazy watch prices on the secondary market, it’s so refreshing and nice to have someone actually thank you for your business. I highly recommend you give Monica and Govberg your business.
Arthur Maull
I made an appointment for 2pm and showed up right on time. I was scheduled to meet with Natalie who did not come out to say hello but instead met with Erik who told me Natalie had a different appointment at 2pm? A bit strange but it happens. Erik was awesome, took the time to show me around, let me try on different watches all the while answering my questions. I did not feel rushed at all which was great. It’s not every day I am able to come in and try on watches so when I do get the chance it’s important that I can take my time. I really like that the Rittenhouse location can source watches as I’m interested in a few that are not easy to come by and want to try them on before buying. Erik made the experience 10/10 and I will be buying from him in the future.

Great experience buying a Tudor Black Bay Chrono from Monica. They didn’t have any in-store and she was able to track down the exact one I was looking for the next day, and was very easy and pleasant to work with. Highly recommended.
Miguel Rilloraza
I needed help resizing the bracelet on a new watch and stopped by one morning. Greg Durham was cordial, quick, and did the job perfectly! I sincerely appreciated the care he took to ensure there were no scratches left on the bracelet or extra links.
I’ve got my eye on a few watches and will definitely be back!
Hayleigh Simpson
Had a wonderful experience here! I was helped by Daniel who I cannot recommend enough. He was super helpful and kind. Highly recommend could not have asked for better.
Scott Proper
The interior of this store is spacious and beautiful. I am impressed by their inventory, and particularly appreciated working with Monica, who is knowledgable and professional. A+

Great hospitality and attention right from the start! When traveling I always go to Rolex Authorized Dealers in hopes of finding a great timepiece. Most of the ADs I have visited look you up and down, check you wrist and try to get you out of the store as soon as possible. At Govberg my experience was the complete opposite. Natalie Goldberg made us feel welcomed and important. Natalie took the time to get to know my wife and I, give us a tour of their newly remodeled store (which is stunning), and show us their inventory. Even though I was not able to find a timepiece on this visit, I definitely walked away with an experience of wanting to buy a timepiece from Natalie— whether it be from a distance or the next time we’re in Philadelphia.
Dave Wu
I recently purchased a Rolex through Armand and he made the whole transaction very pleasant. He is extremely knowledgeable+accommodating, which made this one of the best watch purchasing experiences I've had. I look forward to purchasing more watches in the near future from Armand. The new store is also extremely beautiful and luxurious. I highly recommend purchasing watches from here.
Miguel Ramirez
Gregory Durham is extremely helpful and knowledgeable about watches. He took time to explain a few Rolex models and go over their history and movements. Greg made my visit to Govberg as enjoyable as possible
Mihir Kothari
Dan was very accommodating and patient with the back and forth I had on the resizing of my watch. I'm looking forward to them getting some of the items I put on my wishlist in stock to be able to complete a new purchase.
Mai Nguyen
Monica Moc is exceptional! Very patience, responsive and professional. Very happy to have meet her.
Highly recommend Monica, she will diligently look for the piece you inquired & will response right away
If she’s able to locate the piece. I never feel rushed. Thank you Monica!!

Natalie is excellent. Govberg is an institution in Philly, and for good reason. During covid make sure you book an appointment! They work 1 on 1 with you & can show you throughout the space safely and they take their time with you. If you are looking for something specific, they are honest & do their best to work with you. It’s clear that they enjoy building a connection with their clients as they work with you to find you your dream watch - or watches!
Natalie and Tyler the manager helped me find a watch that I had been looking for without luck for quite a while. There’s a reason they’re the best in the area & I’m hooked. Come here, you won’t be disappointed.
Chris Pagnani, MD
I’ve made several purchases from Govberg (specifically Greg D) over the last 5 years, and I can’t thank them / him enough. Having a brick and mortar stand behind their products, make servicing seamless, and go out of the way to find you specific products, has been awesome. I highly recommend establishing a relationship with Govberg (ask for Greg) and they will take care of you. Thanks again !
ariel breitman
I had an excellent experience working with Greg who changed out a band on my watch. The Govberg store provided a lovely experience to browse watches, and the staff were extremely accommodating.
Jonathan Rosenau
I have made several purchases from Govbergs in the past year, each one with Gregory Durham. Gregory is professional, welcoming, and offers insight to help his customers find exactly what they are looking for. Whenever I am in the market for a new watch, Gregory will be the first person I reach out to.
Zakaria Alyan
If you're looking for a Rolex, Govberg Jewelers is the spot to go! I called to make an appointment and was scheduled for the next day! Erik, the client advisor who welcomed me in is very knowledgeable with watches. The customer service is phenomenal, making sure I left happy. I definitely recommend this place!
Donovan Greene
Went to Govberg today for the first time and absolutely loved it. Tyler Rauth did a great job of showing me the different options in the style I was looking for. Even though they didn't have the Rolex model I was looking for (sold out) I found a Grand Seiko GMT that I loved a lot more. Beautiful interior design, friendly service and great selection (considering most luxury brands are heavily sold out of stock post COVID). I would highly recommend Govberg and Mr. Rauth to anyone looking to purchase a great watch.
Richard Law
It was my first time at Govberg and Natalie Goldberg was my advisor. I was very pleased with my experience; she was patient and accommodating. As a huge watch nerd and novice collector, I appreciate those who share a fascination and appreciation for fine time pieces. I look forward to returning to Govberg and working with Natalie again.
Bill Caraker
I just bought my second watch from Govberg and couldn’t be happier with my watches and the service I’ve received. Tyler Finnigan helped me with both purchases and I highly suggest contacting him for your next watch.
When I first walked into Govberg I had no idea what I wanted and instead of pushing for a sale Tyler suggested that spend time learning more about the different brands and watches available. Govberg will take the time to find out exactly what you want and make sure you make the right decision. I frequently tell my friends and family to shop at Govberg and will continue to do so. Thank you!!
Amanda Leonberg
My husband and I worked with Natalie over a few weeks time to find an “adventure” watch. Natalie was patient, professional, and very knowledgeable about the watch collections. She offered opinions based on our description of what we were looking for. She was so patient and shared her knowledge about watches in general. It was such a personalized experience, and I look forward to working with her again.
Emil Esquetini
Had an appointment with Erik W. this afternoon to look over a few different pieces. Absolutely fantastic interaction and very knowledgeable of all the watches. I've never had to make an appointment to look over watches before but I immediately saw the value in it after going over a few. 1 on 1 without any rush is the way to go. I will be returning to see Erik on my next watch purchase.
Ayaan Patel
Monica is the best! She actually found the exact Rolex I was looking for! An impossible task, yet done! Thank You So Much Monica.
Ryan K
Wonderful customer service! Helped us find exactly what we were looking for. Very satisfied.
Y Y
Natalie is Great. She found the perfect watches for my husband and I as a wedding gift. Also she is so good at understanding our taste and find the best matches per our style. It was the best shopping experience ever.
Daniel Grobman
Went to Govberg to get my watch refitted to my wrist and everyone was extremely helpful!
Edward Kaplan
I purchased a Rolex watch from Gregory Durham in June, 2021. Gregory was very helpful in providing me with all the information I needed. He was professional and caring and made certain that I was satisfied before leaving the store. He encouraged me to reach out to him if I had any additional issues and he was gracious in his response when I did.
Wenhong You
First of all, what a refreshing sight to actually see several dozen Rolexes on display. And my senior client advisor, Greg, was such a pleasure to work with. I felt like he knew everything there was to know about all of the brands that Govberg carries. Will definitely shop there again... and soon.
David Brown
I had a chance to meet with Natalie during my most recent trip to Govberg. She was very professional and super helpful in exploring my watch needs. Though the watches I wanted weren't available at the moment, Natalie showed me some alternative pieces that I never would've considered. I look forward to building a relationship with both Natalie and Govberg.
Samantha E
Greg at Walnut Street was so helpful, jumping into action for a last minute gift procurement the very same day. Beautiful store and a great experience.
Randi Purser
Had a great experience at Govberg’s! Val O. assisted me and was super friendly and helpful. The store is pristine and has a wide variety of beautiful watches. Highly recommend!
S Lebold
I lost the pin from my watch band while at my nephew’s graduation.- in from out of town and flying out in the morning. I stopped in to Govberg on my walk back to our hotel and the store was so accommodating and were able to fix iit on the spot! Monica Moc was so caring and knowledgeable. Thank you!
K. Jenkins
Greg, and Govberg crew are so dope! From Fixing
Both Breitling‘s and facilitating the correspondence btwn Breitling and myself was amazing. If your buying a watch? And you go anywhere else in Philadelphia besides Govberg you have done yourself a disservice. There are the best! That’s it. 5 star!
Raymond Simhon
Natalie G is amazing!! Her knowledge and experience was over the top. I recommend her with all my watch needs. Thanks for making this a smooth transaction.
Ben Landau
Govberg Jewelers was fantastic. I was seen by Greg and he was extremely helpful. Gave me a whole tutorial on how to properly take care of the watch because I didn’t know much about it and was very friendly. I would definitely recommend Greg and Govberg in general to anyone who is looking for a watch or watch related needs.
Paul Bogard
Greg was awesome, had great talk about all brands, he had great anecdotes :) He is very knowledgeable about watches. Had a great experience in the store so I would recommend him 100% !
Matt C.
I purchased a watch from Govberg a little over a week ago. It took me a couple of weeks to actually make it to the store, but Greg was incredibly patient, communicative, and helpful throughout the process. I know where I'll be going for any future watch purchases!
Todd Whitelaw
I had been looking for a particular watch for some time, and finally found one online at Govberg in Philadelphia. I called in and Greg made the whole process incredibly easy. Loved the service, and LOVE the new watch!
Ceil Tuman
First of all, Govberg's new location is lovely and quietly luxurious, which I appreciated. My recent purchase was seamless and the customer service was excellent. Tyler R. was patient, helpful and communicated as needed. Overall, a great shopping experience!
Kevin Harden
Excellent service - especially given the uncertainty surrounding Covid-19. I arrived to purchase my first "grown-up" watch with a friend. We did not have an appointment and were disappointed because we were informed that we would need one. Gregory Durham jumped at the opportunity to help us despite our not having an appointment and showed me a watch that I immediately fell in love with (it wasn't the watch I wanted, but I'll be back to get that one soon enough given the quality of the service). Greg made sure I was taken care of and provided me with all of the documentation and advice I needed for a smooth purchase. Looking forward to becoming a repeat customer.
Jay T. Crosby
Top rated customer service! Some of the finest watches in the city. I worked with Val who was highly knowledgeable and made the whole buying process fantastic. I will be buying all my future watches from Val! Thank you so much Govberg Jewelers, I cant stop smiling!
Barry Friedman
I had an amazing customer service experience with Robyn Govberg at Govberg Jewelers. She was so responsive and pleasant all throughout the process. The watch came to me in spectacular condition and I couldn't be any happier. The condition of their inventory is amazing, their pricing is extremely competitive and their service is beyond reproach. This is the place to buy a high end watch, that's for sure!
MARION MORILLO
I recently purchased a watch from Govberg Jewelers and had the pleasure of working with Claudio to obtain the watch I wanted. Claudio is the consumate professional. He is knowledgeable, dependable and resourceful. I am happy with my purchase and recommend Govberg watches to anyone has a love of watches like me! Claudio you rock! Thank you!
James Gahan
An exceptional watch dealer with class and integrity. Everyone in the Govberg Philadelphia city location is extremely professional and most importantly, their knowledge of watch makers from the holy trinity to independent brands is phenomenal. I mostly speak with Tyler R, and it’s refreshing to speak with someone who shares the same passion in watchmaking as myself. Incredible timepieces - Incredible team!
Francis Shin
Val was extremely helpful. He was patient, engaged and knowledgeable, answering all my questions about various models that I was interested in during my two visits. He ultimately helped me find the right watch. They have a new location next to their old store. I highly recommend visiting and working with Val when you're there. Been to multiple ADs in various countries and this is one of the best!
Farhad R. Chowdhury
I’ve shopped and serviced watches with Tyler Rauth over the past few years. The experience has always been excellent. He is both knowledgeable and personable, always going above and beyond for me; it’s no surprise that friends and family who have worked with Tyler share my sentiments.
남영욱
Nice place, nicer service.
I bought 2 Rolex watches one men’s and one women’s
Associate Natalie was not only nice and kind but also professional.
Also they have more collections than other stores.
If you wanna buy Rolex visit this place!
Ayman Andrews
Great customer experience and Monica was great to work with to find a watch!
Curtis Reinard
It was great meeting with Greg and the entire staff. Everyone was very personable.Greg was extremely knowledgeable and shared a passion for watches. I look forward to working with Greg in the future.
Hung Le
Govberg has the best watches inquiry that I've been experienced with. They've been providing great service and maintaining wonderful assist to my satisfaction. One of my best sale advisor is David. He is so knowledgeable about watches and a hundred percent fulfilling my desires. Thanks to Davis, thanks to whole Govberg team, my best place to buy and trading my watches.
Gregory Hopkins
I had my Zenith serviced at Govberg and there were some issues at the Zenith service center. Christina at Govburg went above and beyond to sort the issue out and really took initiative to deliver suburb service. Govburg's level of customer service is something you will not find anywhere else. I have dealt with high end jewelers and ADs and nobody compares to Govburg. I would never go anywhere else! Highly recommended and Christina is excellent!!
Greg Karman
Govberg provided the level of customer care rarely seen in the industry today. All of my questions were answered quickly. The purchase process, I bought a watch online, was seemless. When the watch arrived, literally the next day, the watch was exactly as described. I decided I required additional links for the bracelet and these were ordered and delivered in the same expedient manner. I would not hesitate to purchase from Govberg again and would recommend them to anyone.
Dan Kaempff
I have purchased two pre-owned watches online from Govberg over the past few months and cannot be more pleased with the entire experience. The watches have been in better condition than described or expected. They were packed extremely carefully to ensure no damage in shipping, and they arrived quickly. I don't think there's a better place to purchase a watch, new or used, than Govberg. I'll be sure to stop in when I'm in Philly. Thanks for the great experience!
Zen Rizzuto
Govberg Jewelers is able to get almost any watch under the sun and has an amazing selection of pieces, even in a time where we’d consider there to be a shortage of timepieces. I specifically work with Tyler Rauth, who over the time we’ve worked with each other, has become more of a friend than anything else.
Jack Murray
Having bought two used watches from Clyde, I went to him when I decided to buy my first brand new watch, a Rolex Submariner. I can't stress enough how much his knowledge and patience made the process enjoyable. Now my wife is asking about a new Rolex! I can't think of better service than I got at Govberg Jewelers. I recommend them without reservation. Ask for Clyde.
Andrew Fletcher
I was surprised with how efficient and knowledgeable the staff were at Govberg. I submitted an inquiry regarding a watch trade, and I got an email from a representative the same day. The trade went well, and I am very excited with my new watches. They are now my go-to store for all watch questions, sales, trades, etc. I have a feeling I will be contacting them again soon...
Susan Freimanis
Thanks Gregory for excellent customer service! I needed information on a watch and Greg took the time and effort to find what I needed with no sale pending. Thank you for the special care! Customer attention is a lost art! It is these kinds of details that insure customer loyalty! I’ll be back for my next purchase and make sure Greg is my guide! Great job
Patrick Jankowski
Up Front, Govberg is the best in the business regarding quality of product and service!
I began my watch experience with a Breitling Montbrillant Datora I purchased from Govberg several years ago; great product, impeccable service and a reasonable price. I was hooked. I have since purchased and traded in several watches over the ensuing 3 years; the Montbrillant and several others were traded for my "grail" watch I will discuss in a moment. Each and every time I worked with a polite, professional, extremely knowledgeable staff - Justin Rix - who was very patient with my questions and demand for excellence.....he exceeded all expectations. Each trade was fair and I received a quality product backed by the Govberg service guarantee and warranty.
Regretfully in pursuit of my grail watch I had the opportunity to test the warranty....when I received the IWC Perpetual Calendar the day was misaligned with the respective calendar date....an impossibility if you know the watch and can only be adjusted by a qualified horologist. Without skipping a beat, Justin apologized for the discrepancy immediately initiated FedEx return and placed me in touch with Ms Christina Teixeira to guide me through the warranty process. Again, impeccable customer service... she kept me appraised of the process insisting Govberg go above and beyond (fully overhauled at IWC Schaffhausen) to ensure I have a quality product. Ultimately I received a - Like New - fully refurbished timepiece with an IWC guarantee, fully exceeding my expectations and providing me value far in excess of what I paid for.
Part three and final segment....I tried a competitor chasing after a "good deal". I had been on Chrono 24 looking to round my collection out with an IWC Pilot chronograph and found an at-market priced product with a Midwestern jeweler I had not previously used. Regretfully, the good deal was too good to be true; the product, service and support were nonexistent. However, the story ends well, I was returned my money via Chrono 24, contacted Justin at Govberg and purchased an IWC Big Pilot. As expected the product is in perfect -like new- condition with impeccable service to match. For anyone pursuing a watch collection, just an every day watch or the grail watch, don't bother with other shops just do your on line research and go to Govberg. I will remain a life long customer.
*****UPDATE***** November 2020
Recently I discovered an issue with my IWC Portugese Perpetual.....if you are familiar it is an extremely complicated watch.....the day lagged the actual calendar day; there is no way to independently set any calendar function due to the complication. I immediately contacted Ms Christina Teixeira, referenced above, who sprung into action to assist. I can't say enough about the attention to detail and customer support at Govberg. Regretfully this is a repeat issue with this watch, however I feel confident in talking to the Goverberg staff this will come to a successful end and grateful for the WATCHBOX warranty and now IWC factory warranty. Again.....as I stated above Quality company that stands behind their product, customer focused, diligent and supportive staff...Christina is the best.
Richard Toves
I am extremely happy with my watch purchase at Govberg. I purchased a watch for my mother and she loved the watch. It was exactly as described online and was at a great price. They also shipped the watch out as soon as payment was received. You can shop with confidence at Govberg.
Caitlin Simpson
My husband and I met with Greg a few weeks ago. It was an absolute pleasure - he was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We hope to work with him again soon!
Don Kerr
Govberg is always my first place to go for quality watches at the best price. Over the last 7 years I’ve been purchasing watches from them, I have always been treated like family, and they have always stood behind all their products. I look forward to working with them over the many years ahead.
victor ngo
I've been in and out of Govberg over the years, with the intent of always seeing what's in stock. They have an impressive selection of brands, including more enthusiast-focused brands like Grand Seiko and H. Moser and Cie.
However, this review is specifically for my experience with Erik. Each time I visit, I learn something new about every one of the brands at Govberg because he's able to speak about each piece with respect to how it performs (he used to work in watch repairs fo Rolex), what makes the movement special, how different the dial manufacturing process is, or just the general current events in the industry and the perception surrounding each piece. I'd say he's been the first watch salesman I've encountered who can really speak to each detail about a watch. Whether it's Rolex, Patek, or Grand Seiko, we've always focused just on the watch. With Erik, there is no pressure to buy anything or put on a face in order to be treated with respect. It's refreshing to have a fellow enthusiast who can speak to what makes a watch special.
Loris KIM
I had a very pleasant experience dealing with Robyn. If you live far from a big city, you know how difficult it is to buy a luxury watch. Robyn made everything smooth and reassuring from the initial inquiry to the transaction and shipping. I would not hesitate to buy another watch from Govberg. My only regret was to not meet Robyn in person.
Ahmad Simone
I purchased my first Breitling chronomat after working exclusively with Jon C. He answered all of my numerous questions and offered a fair price for what was essentially still a brand new watch . Great experience! Will definitely buy from Jon & Govberg again.
Faraz Kohari
I had an excellent experience with Govberg Jewellers. I dealt with Jon Callahan and Jessica, who were patient, forthcoming and full of information related to my purchase. At no point in time did I feel rushed or ignored. I engaged first online and then visited them in person. The complete cycle from initial request to purchase was proactively managed and left me with not only an item that I wanted but an experience that I enjoyed. What better way to buy something...
Highly recommended.
CJimmy Total
I dealt with "Alaina" at Govberg Jewelers and she was superb! Very professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. I purchased a new "Tag Heuer" watch, ordered it on Friday and after a holiday weekend the watch was in my possession on Tuesday. She did offer to overnight the watch, free of charge, but I was not in a big hurry to take delivery. The watch was extremely well packed for shipping and it didn't cost me a dime for shipping. I will have no problem dealing with Govberg Jewelers and Alaina again.
Hunter L
Beautiful store. Monica was very nice and answered all my questions. While I was not able to leave the store with a watch, I look forward to eventually receiving a phone call that I can get it. I would totally go back again and certainly speak to Monica again.
Misha Fomenkov
Thank you so much!!! Monica was our manager. She is the best. Super helpful. Great experience!!!
Patrick Brady
I've purchased several watches from Andrew over the last couple of years and couldn't be happier with the experience. I know I'll always get a fair deal and top-notch service before and after the sale. There are a lot of choices in watch retailers. You should have Govberg high on your list.
William Ryan
Robyn Govberg was great to work with. I never thought I would buy something that had a "storefront" on the internet but now I don't think I would do it any other way when it comes to finding a watch at Govberg. Robyn stayed after hours the first night to talk to me on the phone and made everything so smooth. I never felt rushed and everything moved at the pace I set. The communication was excellent. I was really impressed with the one-on-one that you don't always get at an AD depending on how busy it is or how many sales people they have. Also, the price was the best I had found in looking for months. Call and ask for Robyn, she and Govberg are absolutely top notch.
Patrick Reed
Govberg exceeded my expectations all around. They had what I needed, they were competitive, the were more responsive than any other watch seller I worked with across the country, and my new watch was in my hands the next day. This was important to me because I live 900 miles from their location. I would recommend Alaina to anyone looking for help with a purchase 10 times out of 10.
Adam Scheinberg
Got my watch almost immediately from the most friendly, helpful, and empowered fulfillment team I've dealt with in some time. I know it sounds silly, but it was awesome to complete a payment and hear from them so quickly, and then have them exceed my expectations with information, shipping, and confirmation. I'll definitely go back to Govberg for future purchases.
CC Y
I have dealt with Govberg and David S on three watch deals this year and each time was a superb experience. Response to my questions and concerns was quick, shipping is fast, and the product was in better condition than described. I look forward to purchasing from them again in the near future. Highly reliable and recommended.
Jim Bellamy
Purchased my new Rolex and had my Tag Heuer serviced by Mr. Greg Durham. His service and professionalism is excellent. The whole experience and convenience of purchase and pick up was outstanding. Greg went above and beyond and Govberg is the FINEST jeweler in metro Philadelphia. A definite customer for life.
Dan Biery
Govberg is awesome!! I have had several wonderful interactions with Govberg Jewelers in Rittenhouse Square. They have an excellent selection of collectible watches. Armand Johnston is a great consultant and has worked with me over time to expand / fine tune my collection. I trust their industry knowledge and their prices are very fair. Their mobile app and websites are wonderful resources. It is always fun to see what pre-owned pieces they are adding to their inventory.
Hamish Carpenter
I bought my first watch on good faith and watching a podcast which was branded with Govberg Jewelers. I dealt with Robyn and she was extremely professional, knowledgeable and offered very fair pricing on a swiss timepiece. She gladly answered any questions I may have had and placed no pressure on purchasing until I felt I was ready. I cannot recommend Govberg Jewelers enough for anyone looking for a new timepiece. The best part is they carry any swiss brand you can think of so you can build your whole collection with them while building a solid relationship thereby benefitting both parties. I look forward to my next purchase.
Andy Shieh
There was this watch that I've been wanting to have for years and finally I decided to purchase one recently. After contacting multiple watch dealers, jewelers, and wholesalers, I decided to go with Govberg. I had the pleasure in working with Alaina on this transaction and what a smooth transaction it was. Alaina was attentive and very warm. She went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable with my purchase and that I received ALL the info on the time piece that I wanted prior to the purchase. Awesome watch, sweet salesman, and an awesome transaction. If Govberg ever has another watch that I want in their inventory, then I would contact Alaina immediately without a doubt.
r fisher
I live in Colorado and was looking for a particular watch but had a Rolex that I wanted to trade, jewelers in my area that carried the watch I wanted wouldn't deal or take my GMT two-tone Rolex in trade. I found Alan S. at Govberg Jewelers on line, read reviews about him, I emailed him, he estimated my watch value and gave me a fair trade- in value on the new watch , the transaction went flawlessly, very happy with my Govberg experience, thanks Alan.

Aaron Dunbar
I typically work with Greg Durham when I visit Govberg. He’s very knowledgeable and always pleasant to speak with. The overall customer experience here is unmatched!
Len Cap
Very enjoyable experience. Spoke directly to Robyn, a skilled and knowledgable member of the Govberg team who patiently answered my questions and helped me decide which watch was the best choice for my needs. The watch arrived the next day, and she was right. It was the best choice. She followed up promptly, and helped me with some minor questions, as well as offered further assistance if needed. Everyone wants a "good price", as do I, but customer service and support is a very valuable part of the buying process, and Robyn provided exceptional help in that area as well. I usually have "Buyer's Remorse" for large ticket purchases, but in this case, the ease of the transaction, support and taking the time to make sure I got the right watch up front completely removed any thought of Buyer's Remorse. My sincere thanks.
W Wang
I had been considering the AP Royal Oak for quite some time. I initially shopped at my local AD but did not have a favorable experience. Govberg had always been on the back of my mind due to its stellar reputation amongst serious collectors on the various watch forums. I had a great experience from the initial email inquiry to the actual receipt of the watch. Alaina provided wonderful customer service and indulged my numerous questions. I would not hesitate to recommend Govberg to other watch enthusiasts.
JR Fox
I received my Panerai from Govberg today and I have to say I am more than pleased with the whole experience from start to finish. I have bought many luxury watches before and this was by far the most personalized experience I have had to date. Thier watches reign supreme and Alaina was so knowledgeable about this process. I will be recommending them and they have gained a life long customer!
Marco Olgiati
The best luxury watch boutique in Philadelphia, with very professionals people. Thanks Greg Durham! I will be happy to find new watches again at Govberg.
Bob B.
Govberg is an excellent place to buy fine timepieces - both new and pre-owned. My first introduction to George was the purchase of a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Hometime watch. While Govberg did not have this specific watch in inventory, George went out of his way to acquire for me and was successful in doing so in roughly one week's time. From my perspective as a buyer, the transaction was perfect. First rate customer service, highly recommended!
Jan Schiffman
I wanted to thank Josh, Zach and everyone at Govberg for the incredible service you delivered to me while purchasing a used Rolex Explorer 114270. I was (and know I can be) a demanding customer but your staff made my buying experience my best to date.
I purchased my first Rolex from your first store while living in Philadelphia, a used GMT. I subsequently purchased a used Date and a new Air King before moving from the area in 1996.
Due to a glitch with your online site earlier this week, the Explorer remained on your site after I purchased it and was marked down on sale. You stood by the reduced price and refunded the difference without hesitation. This focus on customer satisfaction has ensured that I will remain loyal to Govberg for any future watch purchase and I wanted to personally thank Josh and Zach for being responsive and for making the buying experience such a pleasant one.
I cannot more highly recommend Govberg as you clearly are earning your place as the number one online watch retailer.
Sincerely,
Jan Schiffman
Jeff Vogel
Purchased an Omega Aqua Terra from Govberg yesterday. I have got to say, I have been to hundreds of Authorized Dealers around the country and this place has the best customer service I have ever experienced. Sara Cassimatis was absolutely a pleasure to work with and made me comfortable with no pressure to buy. Thank you Sara for the amazing experience at Govberg and I will be back to buy more!
-Jeff-
Harvey Strauss
This is a re-post of an earlier post that I made to thank Greg Durham at Govberg. I couldn’t say it any better if I were to say it again today.
I would like to thank Greg Durham for making yet another, (our 6th) , experience of a watch purchase so fantastic. A true gentleman who really truly cares about his customer and goes that extra, as a matter of fact, way extra to accommodate and please. Thank you Greg for being so knowledgeable, caring and untiring. A true pleasure to work with you ... and by the way, I love the watch too!!
Rob Toste
My experience with Govberg Jewelers was nothing short of amazing. The level of service that was provided to me was something I have yet to see with any other jewelry store. This was my first time buying a Rolex via internet let alone from across the country and Robyn Govburg stopped at nothing to make sure I was comfortable with the transaction, was not pushy, answered the million questions that I asked and did so with pleasure and enthusiasm. I was very Impressed. I received the watch next day in prestine condition and couldn’t be happy. They have my business goin forward. I highly recommend them.
Samuel Lantor
I cannot stress how happy I am with my experience with Govberg. Robyn Govberg was extremely helpful through the entire buying process. I was hesitant at first buying such an expensive watch online, but they put all my worries to ease and I came out with a great price on my Breitling.
Richard Fierro
I have purchased two Omega watches and one IWC from Govberg and my shopping experience has always been nothing short of exceptional. George Mayer has been my single point of contact for all of my purchases and he gives me the white glove treatment every time. The prices are quite fair, the service second to none, and I have been collecting for over 30 years.

Jonathan VG at Govberg is excellent. We unfortunately couldn't come to a deal on a transaction, but he still helped me later on in a very professional manner when I needed something else there. I bought from Govberg before and will keep coming back for future purchases. Great products and great service there
Charlene Brown
My experience with Govberg was absolutely wonderful. Govberg was recommended to me by someone I work with who is a serious "collector" of fine watches. He had heard nothing but good things about them over the years. I am so glad he did and he should get some credit too since he found the watch for me. I saw the watch on-line and immediately called about it. I worked with Zoe who was professional and courteous and so very helpful. I had a lot of questions, requested a couple of rounds of pictures and she responded to all of my emails immediately . . . even on her day off or when on her way in to work. She could tell in my voice that I was nervous about what was a big purchase to me but she reassured me that the piece was in "prestine" condition and she was absolutely right. The purchase was so easy. It shipped when she said it would, it was packaged so carefully, everything was there as promissed, and she even sent a little personal note because she knew this was my Birthday present to myself. They even sized it for me and when I put it on, it fit like it was made just for me. I couldn't be happier and I can't believe I finally own the watch I have been drooling over for 7+ years. THANK YOU Zoe and Govberg. I will absolutely 100%, without a doubt, highly recommend Govberg.
Thomas Sullivan
Govberg always goes above and beyond to satisfy their clients. I have been a customer for decades, and today then again demonstrated their commitment to client service and satisfaction. Special thanks to Val.
Ron Leong
This is the absolute best place to go for your watch needs. I was immediately impressed with how knowledgeable and helpful Tyler F was when I was looking for my first watch in Feb 2020. Since then Tyler has helped me develop my watch collection/hobby with 3 more timepieces and I’ll continue to go back for more.
Tyler Kim
Truly a beautiful place. Natalie was very knowledge, professional and attentive. I absolute enjoyed trying out all the wonderful watches at the Jewelers. Highly recommended.
Adam Miller
I walked in the door to look at a watch. I was treated right by the staff. After a casual conversation, I wanted to purchase a watch from the store . Govberg Jewelers. A+. All staff superior, store is immaculate and the inventory to beautiful. I can't wait to return . Thank you for my new watch and a great experience !
Steven Hollenshead
I have bought two watches from Govberg so far this year..Ive enjoyed the best customer service I have ever experienced dealing with Josh at Govberg. I can confidently say that I will never buy another watch again without talking with Josh Thanos at Govberg first. They have my business as well as my families business because of our experiences with dealing with Josh..You couldn't ask for better service..I tell everyone that I talk to thats looking to buy a luxury watch at a great prive to check out Govberg first.Thank you Josh and Thank you Govberg Jewelers

Jake Smith
Daniel was very helpful and pleasant! Assisted me with my request extremely courteously
Doug Wetterer
Jason from Govberg Jewelers was very professional and helpful in my watch trade/purchase. Highly recommend if your purchasing or trading in a timepiece. I will definitely be doing business again!
Steven Bocanegra
Alan has been an invaluable asset to my watch buying experience more than once. Over the last 3 years I have bought 3 different timepieces from Govberg's. An Omega, Rolex and most recently, a Panerai. Alan has made each experience as easy as breathing. I would highly recommend Alan for your watch buying needs. Class Act and what the customer service industry standard should be.
Dalton Becky
Govberg is the real deal. Claudio is incredible. Service and expertise is top notch. I've now bought two pieces from him. Both were very hard to find but he got it done. Consider me a customer for life.
Toe Wai Aung
Great experience buying 2 like-new Omega watches from Govberg Jewelers. Customer service was the best I've ever had from a watch store. And the shipping was amazingly safe and fast.
Berk Mandıracıoğlu
I had absolutely amazing shopping experience with Govberg Jewellers. From their relation with customers to the shipment of the watch everything was so satisfying. I would care to take a look at their very large collection of watches from nearly all swiss brands. I recommend this place to everyone.
Loves from Turkey,

5 star experience. Erik was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend anyone in the area looking to purchase a Rolex to stop in at Govberg’s before going elsewhere.
K Tran
I am located in California, however, I reached out to Govberg on a whim to locate a watch I have been interested for some time. I had the pleasure of speaking to Robyn and learned that they had the watch in stock. Through a series of emails exchanged, I felt confident enough to make my purchase. I have been a watch collector for 15 years and have worked with many ADs, however, my experience with Robyn was nothing but pleasant. Everything was clearly communicated and our phone conversations were followed-up emails detailing the information exchanged. I did not, at any time, feel pressured into making a purchase or felt misled. The excellent customer service extended beyond my purchase when I reached out to Robyn, once again, to help me order a an extra strap for my watch. She quickly contacted the manufacturer, ordered my strap (the last one in stock), and within a week, I have the strap on my watch. I will definitely be reaching out to Robyn and Govbergs in the future to satisfy my watch addiction!
Jerome Wong
First time purchase with Andrew was great and fuss free. Being a preowned watch, Andrew was able to provide assurance that I would be covered for my purchase and could reach out at any time. Very patient and accommodating to all queries I had. Overall a very pleasant experience and would recommend to anyone looking.
Kyle Burk
I had several friends recommend working with George at Govberg Jewelers and they described him as their "watch guy". I called up George out of the blue and he was extremely helpful as he worked with me through the buying process. I purchased my new watch from out of state and received it the next day as promised. Thanks for your help George, now I can consider you as my "watch guy" as well.
Chuck Dages
Shopping for a new luxury watch, I went to Govberg’s online site. The experience could not be better! From the first contact, Robyn, walked me thru the brands and watches that would meet my lifestyle and preferences. Using their websire I researched the options and selected an Omega Seamaster. The pricing was great and the help in answering questions was always fast and on target.
The entire customer experience was world class from start to delivery. When the watch arrived at my home, hours earlier than expected, it was running with time and date set and in perfect condition. For me, the ultimate customer care was a personal, handwritten note in ghe box from Robyn Govberg thanking me.
Great people, great service,... I am sure that I will be back in the future.
Paul R
Having watched the WatchBox and Govberg YouTube channels quite a lot I felt comfortable making my first pre-owned sight unseen watch purchase from Govberg and it has been a great experience. So much so that I just purchased a second watch from them.
David Salamanca has made it easy and is a good point of contact to have in the watch world.
Both Omegas have arrived well packaged and once opened look brand new! Not a mark on them and the display box, international warranty card, pictograms, instructions and even original cleaning cloth+card were all there.
Definitely see myself making future purchases from them.
david barsalou
Victoria was extremely helpful with my purchase. She addressed all questions/concerns I had, as this was a interstate phone purchase. Their reputation is well deserved and I will not hesitate to buy from them again, and I would recommend them to my friends
Simon Haileab
Natalie was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She walked me through various watches and helped navigate me to the perfect time piece. I look forward to doing business with Govberg and Natalie again.
Alex Herceg
Alaina worked with me on my first serious watch purchase, and her detail-oriented, quick, and professional service left me completely satisfied. Not only is a it pleasure to enjoy a fine piece of jewelry, but it is satisfying to buy from an institution like Govberg. They were able to arrange international shipping (so fast that it blew my mind), but you are in Philadelphia, the store is beautiful and worth a visit. I would definitely buy another watch from Govberg, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Ms. Lackman is top-notch!
Mike M
Armand was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and responsive throughout the process of selecting a watch. The watch was delivered quickly upon purchase. Would absolutely recommend Govberg and will go through them for any future purchases.
Kevin Snyder
I had a wonderful experience working with Andrew. He was very prompt in getting back to my initial request. He was also very easy to speak with, and very informative about the watch. He claimed it was in Mint condition, and he was perfectly accurate! So glad to finally have an A Lange & Sohne on my wrist. I will definitely be contacting Andrew when I'm ready for my next purchase.
Sergio
Was first very sceptical of online jewelry stores. Robyn of Govberg jewelers made the experience absolutely amazing and comforting. I would highly recommend and use them again. Buy with confidence and know they will answer your questions throughout the process.
Michael DiMeglio
Govberg is the TRUTH - I've purchased pre-owned Swiss watches from them as my experience has been nothing less than perfection. Armand has helped me both times with the sales and his knowledge and professionalism is on point. Govberg will also knock a few dollars off pre-owned as you feel great leaving - coming back and purchasing throughout the future. Whether you are in Phili - the MET area or California buy with confidence as these guys are the best period.
Andrew Brownstein
Excellent selection at fair prices with trustworthy people. Dealing with George was a breeze. He sent me all the information on the watch in advance, responded to every call and email immediately, and the watch was exactly as described. Shipped directly to my door overnight in secure packaging. A+
Kai Hsu
David S with Govberg Jeweler has been great to work with. I have completed multiple trades and purchases with him. I highly recommend contacting him for any timepiece purchase.
Justin Hayward (Make It Rain)
Govberg were excellent with my purchase of a Panerai. I wanted to buy from an Authorized Dealer and buying an expensive watch online can be daunting especially when the store is in a different state to where you live but Alaina went above and beyond to help make the process smooth and worry free. I would highly recommend Govberg Jewelers for new and pre-owned watches.
Brian Davis
Great watch, price, and experience! Alaina answered all my questions and was truly helpful in the process of purchasing a pre-owned watch. The watch was like new, packaged well, shipped quickly, and all the functions were setup for me prior to shipping. I would purchase from Govberg and Alaina without hesitation.
Allen Hawes
I am beyond satisfied with my experience. Govberg is the real deal! From start to finish, the easiest experience I’ve had dealing with luxury watch companies on the net. This won’t be the last purchase I make with govberg!
David Brenke
I heard from a friend that if I need to sell a watch this was the place to contact. I emailed and spoke with David Salamanca. He was very upfront with the process and pricing, he told me of examples of my watch and things that affected the monies I would receive. It took me a bit to come to grip with selling, he was patient and not pushy one bit. I would definitely consider contacting him to sell or buy my next watch.
Derek Hughes
I was helped in the buying process by Alaina who was polite, helpful and courteous. I am delighted with my new watch. This is my second purchase from Govberg Jewelers and I will have no hesitation about buying again.
Kid Richmond
Not sure if this is the right place to leave a review for their company The WatchBox but since they appear to be one in the same here goes.
I found this company by way of a YouTube video. Be omg that they have a large social media presence and ability to reach some well known actors, some that I’ve worked with as well, I decided to give them a go. I went through their online trade in process and offloaded one of my Rolex watches for a breitling I’ve been eyeing. True to their word they adheres to our deal we negotiated via phone and confirmed via email, sent me a prepaid next day fedex label and within a couple days I had my new watch, the trade difference in form of a check (my preference) and the negotiated extra Breitlight deployant clasp and matching strap.
I hope everyone else that does business with The WatchBox (aka Govberg) has a positive experience.
Paul Scanlan
Recently bought an Explorer 2 from Govberg. Claudio helped me with the purchase, and could not have been more kind or helpful. I absolutely loved my experience with Govberg, and will absolutely shop there again.
Bruce Leap Jr.
I have been into the Walnut Street store to buy my first Breitling watch. I recently bought one from them online. They had it in there Florida store. I had no reservation about buying it without seeing it in person. The watch was bought and shipped to there store in Philly. Then shipped to me. I was emailed when it would be shipped and a hand written thank you was with the watch when delivered as always. Will always be my only store for fine watches. Thank you again Bruce.
D PERRY
It is anxiety causing to buy something like a nice watch from across the country. WELL, THE ANXIETY WAS NEEDLESS!
Bill Comfort made this as easy as possible but more important to me precisely represented the watch and condition. I could not be more thrilled.
I have absolutely no hesitation in buying from Bill and Govberg, sight unseen, in the future. Concierge service is not a tagline, it was delivered.
Naumce Pejoski
Purchase: Breitling Chronomat 44 GMT
Robyn was very professional, and answered all my questions. Watch shipped incredibly fast. Presentation of the watch was prestine, exactly as described, maybe better. Govberg Jewelers has gained a loyal customer with their customer service and top quality inventory.
AC A
I have now purchased 5 watches from these guys and referred multiple friends who have purchased. I will be moving out of Philadelphia soon but plan on buying future watches from these guys. Although everyone is great, I personally love dealing with Karen in the walnut street store. She is incredibly nice and extremely knowledgeable and passionate about watches.
Chris “DrDonger” D
Govberg Jewelers are very easy to deal with and provide great prices. Trust worthy sellers. I will definitely purchase watches from them in the future.
Jan Schiffman
Since buying my first pre-owned from Govberg, I've bought 2 more and have had consistently excellent service from their sales team. Zach has been absolutely wonderful to work with and I can't imagine I'll ever go anywhere else. Thanks again for another excellent transaction.
Lisa Briggs
Absolutely the best experience! Do not hesitate to purchase your fine timepiece here. Shipping was super fast, watches were beautifully packaged, customer service has been top notch. I will be back for more!! Thank you Govberg!!
DAVID NEWMAN
So I decided to take the plunge and treat myself to a Breitling watch. After looking for weeks on line at all the gray market sellers of new watches and reading about some of the horror stories about defective watches and other issues I decided to look into a pre owned watch. I came across Govberg and saw the Breitling I have been dreaming about but thought I would never be able to afford. I sent them an email after their regular hours but heard back from them first thing the next morning. Alaina was the sales consultant and she went over all the history of the watch with me, went over pricing, gave me some discount, but I was still very skeptical about buying something like this on line. After lots of pondering I made the decision, placed the order on Friday afternoon, Alaina sent the watch out fed ex Saturday delivery, received it by noon today and it's beautiful. I want to thank Alaina for all her work and I would recommend Govberg on line to anyone looking for a pre owned time piece.
KW W
I could not have asked for a better associate to handle my transaction. Alaina is a true professional and personable representative of Govberg Jewelers. Her kindness and honesty shines through. I would not hesitate to purchased from Govberg's again and work through Alaina. Thanks.
Umer Waziri
Shopping for big ticket luxury items does bring some level of stress with it because of the potential of some dishonest people in our society. This is where Govberg Jewelers differentiate theirselves. I have dealt with Govberg on two occassions in the past six months, and each time the service has been nothing short of impeccable. I dealt with Alan, who was true to his word, trustworthy, honest, fair and very prompt in his responses. I bet he has a million things to take care of however he was very prompt in everything he did. I just wanted to share my trusty experience with this fine business so other customers who may be thinking of doing business with them can be encouraged. I will definitely do business with them again and will share my tripple A experience with all my friends and family. All the best, Govberg and keep up the excellent work, Alan.
Jimmy Nguyen
Go see George Mayer at Govberg Jewelers. I've bought two watches (Breitling and Panerai) from him and had a great buying experience with both. I never felt any pressure to buy and the service was always great.
Mohit Misra
Tyler is one of the best people, let alone best salesperson I have met. He was curious, knowledgeable, insightful and immensely personable. He also had an incredible collection to show, which helped. I would go back there in a heartbeat. One of the finest watch places to shop in the US!
Billy Ho
i was in the market for a Panerai. Did some research on forums and George from Govberg is highly recommended. Called George up and he was very helpful in answering my questions (and very knowledgeable) and very straightforward with the pricing which is very competitive. He overnight the watch to me for free. Could've gotten my PAM cheaper from grey market but decided not worth the risk. Govberg is an authorized dealer for Panerai and many other fine timepiece brands. Will definitely buy from Govberg and George for my next watch. Thanks George for an easy transaction and looking forward to my next watch purchase with you and Govverg
Tony Yeung
Thank you to Greg over at Govberg. Very professional and straight forward. Smooth process and even getting my watch delivered sooner than expected! Great work!

First time dealing with Govberg. Great response from Bill Comfort “WILD BILL” we call him. I traded a couple of watches and picked up one new one. The process was quick and fair from my standpoint. Would defiantly would with them again.
Wayne Ferranti
Excellent experience with Armand and Govberg, I was looking for a Panerai and can not be more happy with my experience, Armand was very helpful and always responsive to my inquiries, The watch I selected was shipped out in an extremely timely matter and arrived in better condition than described . I would have no worries purchasing anpther watch from Govberg
Tony Traub
Great service and competitive pricing. I purchased from Jon Callahan who searched for a watch we wanted, which he found. The watch wasn't very common but Jon found it for us. I'd go back to Govberg Jewelers and Jon for my next purchase.
floydndaisy
I recently purchased a used COSC certified watch online from them. I was very surprised when it arrived. The watch was in mint condition. Probably only worn a handful of times. Customer service was excellent throughout the transaction and delivery. During the first week of wearing the watch though, it was losing 11 seconds per day. Very disappointed to say the least. I live on the west coast and was going to be in Philadelphia for a few days so i called to ask if i could come by and have someone maybe take a look at it. I was told i would need to leave it for a week. No one could even just look at it. Disappointed again. I have since had it regulated. It took less than 5 minutes. I wear it 24/7 and it now loses about 1 second per week. Very happy now.
Wal .S
Govberg Jewlers offers transcendent customer service ,and has a very impressive collection of expensive and high-end watches . A nice Asian lady who works there even offered me a drink while I was at this jewelry store . I would very much love to come here again to shop .
CJ Dennis
The people at Govberg are awesome. Extremely helpful and courtesy. The first floor is Rolex, IWC, Hublot, Breitling, and Cartier. Upstairs is their preowned selection and their Patek salon.
Truly a top notch experience and would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.
Panos Sotiropoulos
Great support and assistance in both payment and shipping the products. Photos and all kind of information were immediately communicated with pleasure.

Great place, will definitely purchase again!
Robert Diamond
Great experience buying a pre-owned watch. They described the watch accurately, I bought it for a great price, and they fulfilled (servicing the watch and shipping it) quickly and accurately. I highly recommend this long-time Philadelphia jeweler.
Ryan Hamilton
I've done multiple purchases with George Mayer over at Govberg. He has always been very responsive and worked with me very patiently. He has definitely gone out of his way to earn my business! A+++!
Shane Ojar
I worked with Zoe A. in purchasing an IWC Aquatimer and she was the perfect model for a sales representative. Her attention to detail, patience in answering my questions and overall respect for me as a buyer were all impeccable. I will definitely be a returning customer in the near future.
Brandon
Terrific service. See Greg. Very professional and will do everything he can to get you the watch you are looking for in this limited supply environment.

I would like to thank Robyn for all her help in the purchase of my watch . The service she provided was amazing and I could not recommend them anymore highly if your looking for a pre owned timepiece. Will definetely look to use them again in the future and fully recommend them A+++
Bill Coll
Erik was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Looking forward to returning when I want to buy another watch.
Craig Fisher
I live in Colorado and have had several transactions with Govberg, specifically Alan Strassler .
What a wonderful company to do business with, straightforward, honest answers, and follow through in every way . Alan has made everything so easy and hasslefree , It's been an absolute pleasure doing business with him, and I have recommended Alan and Govbergg to several of my friends, that if you're watch shopping, you need to call Alan . 5 Stars!!

j harv
I purchased three watches from govberg over the last month. I dealt with Aliana....extremely knowledgeable, very helpful in my selections and gave me a great deal. I bought a Ulysse Nardin, Jaeger Lecoultre, and Girard Perregaux, all three were used but dead mint as advertised. I live in OKC, unfortunately, we don't have the higher end brands represented here locally, so I'm stuck with buying when I travel or the never-ending online searches....my search is over, I've found the company I've been looking for. Can't wait to find my next watch with them. I'd give them a TEN STAR rating if it was an option!
Bowen Duan
Amazing shopping experience with Greg’s help! Really patient with all questions and does surprised me with what to offer at the end. Overall a very friendly, comfort environment. Would definitely recommend the store and Greg to anyone in the future!

I went all the way out to Ardmore from NJ to buy my Michele but when it needed a new battery I took it to a local jeweler. BIG MISTAKE, I will be going out to Ardmore from now on. They are just the nicest people and always go out of their way to help!

I recently visited Govberg and had a great experience! Highly recommend booking an appointment with Greg as not only is he extremely friendly, but his vast knowledge of watches and Rolex really won me over. I really valued the conversation we had and enjoyed trying on all of the different watches! The store is beautiful and they carry many other high-end brands worth checking out if you’re in the market for them. My only regret is not checking out the store earlier as I live right near by. I look forward to buying my next watch from them!
Leslie Gale
I worked with Monica and she was wonderful. She was really attentive to what I was looking for and worked hard to find me the perfect watch. It was a great experience!
Vikramaditya Singh
Had the most pleasant experience at Govberg Jewelers today with Erik. I needed to get my IWC's strap changed, which he was able to get done within 15 minutes and that too free of charge! Had a wonderful conversation with Erik about the watch and generally enjoyed seeing the lovely pieces at the boutique. Great experience overall and would highly recommend Govberg!
Joseph Legg
Today I had the pleasure of working with Monica to find my fiancé the perfect watch to celebrate an upcoming milestone. From the moment we spoke on the phone, to meeting at the store, and making an eventual purchase, Monica was helpful, incredibly knowledgeable, and brought a level of customer service that is seldom seen today. I am very happy with the service provided by Monica and Govbergs and will definitely be returning with future business!
Ricardo Perez
